(Editor’s Note: I get somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 emails a day, some of them are so entertaining that I just can’t keep them to myself… that’s why you should always put something in your signature saying that the information in the email in confidential.)
I’m reminded of what the great Dr. Peter Venkman once said on his show “World of the Psychic”: “Can you tell us when the end of the world will be, or do we have to buy the book?”
The Late Great United States
What Bible Prophecy Reveals About America’s Last Days
By Mark Hitchcock, Ph.D.
Why is mention of the United States—a superpower without peer in history—absent in Bible prophecy about the end times? Did God simply choose not to mention America despite its immense influence while referring to 15 other nations and regional alliances? Or is America missing for some more significant reason—a great military defeat or an economic catastrophe that takes it out of the picture before the end arrives?
These questions capture the attention of many Americans, particularly evangelical Christians. And they do so all the more in these times of immense change and turbulence—especially following the election of a historic president who will enter the White House while the country faces a financial meltdown not seen since the Great Depression.
Is it possible that the United States isn’t meant to be a player in the end times?
This is the central question explored by prophecy expert Dr. Mark Hitchcock in The Late Great United States a fascinating behind-the-headlines look at how numerous current events relate to what the Bible says about the last days. With a law degree, a master’s in theology and a Ph.D. in biblical studies, Dr. Hitchcock is the author of over a dozen non-fiction prophecy books and has been featured on the History Channel’s The Prophecies of Israel and The Prophecies of Iraq.
Americans are accustomed to seeing their country center stage as a world power, but as Dr. Hitchcock carefully details, this may not be the case in the final scene. Based on extensive research of the Bible and other sources, The Late Great United States provides compelling and often surprising answers to questions like these:
- Does the Bible suggest anything about America’s role in the last days?
- How could the U.S. fit into God’s prophetic plan?
- Will America survive?
- Might the anti-Christ come from America?
- Could America’s addiction to oil be her undoing?
- Will America be destroyed by a nuclear attack?
- Will the U.S. become part of a North American union with Canada and Mexico?
As he explores clues in Scripture, Dr. Hitchcock concludes that some of the most telling insights about America’s fate come from God Himself:
Therefore keep watch because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. (Matthew 24:42-43).
I’ve gotta give them a tip of the cap for working both the end of the world AND the North American Union into the same pitch. That takes talent.
